We are currently upgrading the servers to Nightstar 1.5.2.4. This does not directly affect any valid users, but it does help the Nightstar Staff in our never-ending battle with spambots, enhancing our two major tools to stop them once they're on the network. In particular, it gives us the ability to stop those obnoxious bots that change their nicks before we can slap them around. So, we can now provide you with a safer, less spammy chatting experience.

Oh, one tiny thing that does affect users - you'll be able to see channel modes when you type /list. Since most of our current users already have their channels, or join a channel based on recommendation, this doesn't mean much, but it's nice for new users.

Any users who feel a pressing need for more details on these changes, feel free to come to #nightstar and ask our staff.
